Title: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Series: Harry Potter - 4th book
Author: J.K. Rowling
Read Before: yes
My Comments: There’s no denying that this is a good book. Compared to the previous three, there’s not contest, Goblet of Fire is much more intense and exciting. The Quidditch World Cup made for a great start, but it gets even better by the other major event, The Triwizard Tournament. When it is first mentioned, you do not expect Harry to take part in it, and yet he does, by treachery. There’s a lot of suspense thrown in, mysteries and weird things happening left and right. It’s only right in the last few chapters is everything revealed and becomes crystal clear. The twist and revelations are unparalleled in the series up to this point, they were amazing. At each task, you feel and panic for Harry, wishing he can somehow get through it, however, it is a bit annoying how much assistance he gets, it seems he’s very lucky that he knows the people he does. The death was a shock and not one you were expecting, since it happened at a supposedly happy moment. There are some very annoying characters here, annoying as in characters you can’t wait to see them punished. This is also the last book in which it’s more ‘friendly’, since with the rise of Voldemort, the rest of the series take on a dark and sinister turn.
Rating: 8/10
